Abstract
Examined the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) profiles of peer-nominated assertives , unassertives , and aggressives . Eighty males from two social fraternities peer-nominated assertives , unassertives and aggressives . The nomination procedure yielded 12 nominees per group. A profile analysis of the CPI indicated that assertives and aggressives were significantly more similar than were assertives and unassertives , and unassertives and aggressives . Results of a subscale analysis indicated that assertives and aggressives were significantly higher on Dominance, Capacity for Status, Sociability, and Social Presence than Unassertives , but were not significantly different from each other on these subscales. Also, assertives were significantly higher on Socialization, Self-Control, and Achievement via Conformance than were aggressives . Finally, assertives were significantly higher on Achievement via Conformance than were unassertives and aggressives . Implications are discussed.
